Question : What is reaction centre ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Reaction centre or PHOTOCHEMICAL phase include : Aborption of light, Splitting of water, Release of oxygen, and the formation of HIGH energy chemical intermediates like ATP and NADPH. Several complexes are involed in the process. The pigments are organised into two discrete photochemical Light Harvesting Complex (LHC). They are Photosystem - I (PS - I) and Photosystem - II (PS - II). PS - I and PS - II are in LHC. These are NAMED in the sequence of their discovery, and not in the sequene in which they function during the light reacting. The LHC are made up of HUNDREDS of pigment molecules bound to proteins |
